A new book by Richard Bozulich has just been added the SmartGo's Go Books app. "This one is aimed at beginners and is free for a limited time," says SmartGo's Anders Kierulf. "I think it covers the basics really well." “How to Play Go: A Concise Introduction” by Richard Bozulich and James Davies is a straightforward introduction to the rules of the game, with example games and problems, as well as chapters on opening strategy, elementary tactics, life and death, and handicap go strategy. For a limited time, this book is available for free inside the Go Books app (on iPhone and iPad). "Please consider recommending this free book and the Go Books app to friends who are curious about go," Kierulf urges. The book will be free until January 28; after that, the price will be $3.99. This Kiseido book is also available as a printed book for $7.95 from Amazon.
